The Statistics Centre of Finland has issued a stern warning of potential cuts to various key statistics due to government funding reductions, despite the director denying any threats of closure.
The Statistics Centre of Finland has reported significant cuts to its statistical production, threatening to either close or reduce around thirty essential statistics including rental prices, productivity measures, new manufacturing orders, and various socioeconomic indicators. These measures are largely driven by continued government budget cuts, amounting to nearly 6 million euros or roughly 10% of their 2023 budget.
